Heavy traffic on the national expressways According to the Saturday afternoon announcement by Útinform, traffic is extremely heavy on the national expressway and main road network. Longer travel times should be expected on the roads leading to popular leisure and hiking spots, as well as major tourist destinations. In particular, driving on saturated lanes on the M7, M1, M3 and M5 motorways. M1-M7 exit section and M7 motorway There is extremely heavy traffic on the joint exit section of the M1-M7 and the M7 motorway from Budapest to Lake Balaton. Cars are congested mainly between Budapest and Martonvásár and on the Váli valley section.
In addition, progress is periodically slower around Székesfehérvár and Polgárdi. Útinform recommends that those traveling on the section use the M6 motorway instead of the M7, from which it is possible to return to the M7 motorway at several junctions, for example via the 62 and 64 main roads. M1 highway On the M1 highway, on the side leading to Győr, on the Budapest-Bicske road section, on the Tata section, and up to the 85 Komárom-Kisbér junction, the lanes are saturated, which causes delays in some places. An accident occurred at kilometer 63 in the direction of Győr between Tatabánya and Tata, where the inner lane was closed. Due to the heavy traffic, a traffic jam of at least 8 kilometers was formed. M3 motorway Significant slowdowns can also be observed on the M3 motorway due to congestion. Especially towards Nyíregyháza, there is heavy traffic on the Gödöllő section and at the Kerekharaszt/Hatvani traffic diversion.
M5 motorway On the M5 motorway between the Balástya junction and the M43 motorway, asphalting works are being carried out on the side leading to Budapest. Between kilometers 149-147, the outer lane was closed, so congestion can be expected on the road section narrowed to one lane.
Modification of the truck stop Due to the heat, the period of the truck stop has been changed for the long weekend: on Saturday from 3 to 10 p.m. and on Sunday and Tuesday from 6 to 10 p.m. Truck traffic is free all day on Monday. Commuters should monitor the current road information and, if necessary, plan their journey in advance to avoid congestion.
